    If the comments all said you should jump in a river would you do it?

  2. great editing on Linksys WRT Routers Won't Block Open Source Firmware, Despite FCC Rules (arstechnica.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Two lumps of mangled unicode in the first paragraph. Don't know how much they're paying manishs, but it's too much.

  3. Re: Flirting on Wendy's Plans To Automate 6,000 Restaurants With Self-Service Ordering Kiosks (investors.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The chain got his money this time. He might not go back again.

  4. Re:Mitochondria? on Scientists Find Gut Microbe That Survives Without Mitochondria (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Whoever wrote it isn't too good on quotation marks either. He seems to think they're interchangeable with commas.

    Long-haul truckers own their own trucks.

    Really? All of them?

    Pulling it is the worst thing you can do, even if it's a dupe, because *comments*.

    If you can't detect dupes before putting them up, don't bother.

  7. Coming up later: how Zuckerberg, Gates & Whitman are already planning a scheme to teach them to code.

  8. Sorry about the pun on Scientists Grow Two-Week-Old Human Embryos In Lab For The First Time (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Where I come from the seats are designed to lift up.

  9. Re:It's wildly unlikely we should exist on Are We Alone In the Universe? Not Likely, According To Math (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    We know for certain that they don't edit; it's evident that nobody does.

  10. Frosty on Apple Is Outdated, Says Chinese Conglomerate LeEco CEO (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Did anyone else see the headline on a burgundy/red background for second?

  11. I'm sure on Your Media Business Will Not Be Saved (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    Joshua Topolsky, co-founder of The Verge, and Vox Media, and formerly Editor-in-chief of Engadget, has published an article on Medium, wherein he analyzes the ongoing and long-term issues with digital media businesses and their increasingly growing thirst for more and more clicks.

    I'm sure, that if you tried, you could write, a sentence that, rambles more, and has, more commas in it.

  12. I'm sure this report made loads of people feel much better.

    You could, but you'd be wrong. The correct phrase works because we know what and roughly where a waist is. Your substitution makes as much sense as saying "air high" or "asphalt long".

  14. Another outbreak on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Will Bring Snap Packages For Up-To-Date, More Secure Apps (neowin.net) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Another outbreak of â disease.

    Amazon can afford to fail some as long as few, like EC2 and S3, keep winning

    That should be "a few".

    A seemingly minor omission but it almost reverses the meaning.

  18. Re:It always seems kinda racist to me ... on The 'Human Computer' Behind the Moon Landing Was a Black Woman (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 1

    She's very much like Michael Jackson. No, not *that*, and it was never proved anyway.

    Scroll down for the younger photo.

  19. When you say it's interesting, is that because you'd never heard it before? And if the answer is in the affirmative, are you Amish?

  20. dimothy on OpenStack Mitaka Aimed at Simplifying Cloud Operations (eweek.com) · · Score: 1

    If you're going to put a comma after "OpenStack" you should also put one after "Mitaka".

  21. All together (and altogether) now... on HP's New Logo Is the Awesome One It Never Used (theverge.com) · · Score: 1
  22. their organs' sizes are similar to that of human's.

    How many human organs are they (and are they all the same size)? How many humans? Do you really need a possessive when you have "of"?

    - Moustache grooming kit holder.
    - Lomo mount.
    - Rack for spare stupid woolly hat that you wear even in August.

  24. If he generates one cent of revenue then it's commercial use. That usually requires extra permits/qualifications, which I doubt he has.

    In any case it's only a matter of time before he pisses off the wrong person and ends up with various body parts being shoved into the rotors.
